that is wild. [bleep] so we re seeing that now where we never saw that before, where people are going, enough. right. enough. stop shoving this down everybody s throat. rachel: the people are saying enough. i had tim kramer, he s an advertising executive, on my podcast this week, and i asked him, why would they do this? why would they make these moves knowing they re going to lose billions of dollars? and he said you really have to just peel this all the way back to the source, and it s esg, and that esg stuff isn t coming just from blackrock. behind that is the wef, the world economic forum. so these titans get together, they decide that this is the social justice, you know, things they want to push, and it just goes down from there. blackrock says this is what you have to do, state street says this is what you have to do, vanguard does, and they do what they have to do, and they don t care what s happening with their stock prices pete: equity index and all those
profitable, would be mindful of the misinformation that he puts out there and the types of accounts that he engages with because he wants to bring advertisers back. when we talk to agency executives, people who are buying ads on behalf of fortune 500 brands and smaller companies, they will tell you that they have to caution their clients when it comes to buying ads on twitter not just because of some of the content moderation going down, but also because of elon musk himself spewing misinformation. it s puzzling why he continues to do there and to behave this way. but hopefully now that they have a new ceo, an advertising executive with experience, maybe she can rein him in. so how congressman deutsch, your governor desantis, ron desantis, frequently criticizes george soros. it is something he does. something that a lot of people do because he puts a lot of money into progressive causes including progressive districts attorney. would you argue that that is inherently anti-semitic?
universal, cnn s john sullivan has been following this for us. more than the former title, what do we know with yaccorino. she is an advertising executive up until now has been working at nbc universal, the chairman of global advertising and partnerships. according to nbc, she oversaw a team of 2,000 people globally. that remarkably is larger than twit terself, which according to elon musk now is only around 1500 employees, and that s down around 80% from what elon musk took over the company. we know it has been a tumultuous time at twitter a lot of advertisers dropping off as well. is there an expectation that we could see a change in direction at the company? well, in some ways, this is twitter looking backwards, because you know, we don t know too much about the financials now, because twitter is a private company, but before elon musk took it over, around 90% of twitter s revenue came from
advertising. and when elon musk took it over, we saw this exodus of advertisers from twitter and elon musk s solution to that was to double down on twitter s subscription service. well, that subscription service has reportedly been a dud. so the hiring of yaccorino, an advertising executive, is an acknowledgment from twitter and elon musk that advertising is core to twitter s business. jon sarlin, we will be watching this with you. thank you very much. still ahead, stores like nordstrom, starbucks, whole foods are closing in big cities and pointing to crime as a reason for their exits, and it is quite more complicated than that, next. i m looking for someone who loveves art deco elegance, good times, and unexpecteded flavors. someone who likes it hot but knows how to keep ththeir cool. a white-sand beach where you can see the sunrise? way better than whatever you were going to binge-watch this weekend.
